A Beautiful 0.7-Acre Property with Room to Create Something Special
Finding the right building lot isn't always easy, especially when you're looking for a balance of privacy, space and an established neighbourhood.
At 1003 Cedarwood Place, you have approximately 30,492 square feet of land to work with.
The property is tucked away at the end of a no-through road, surrounded by mature trees and natural greenery that help create a peaceful rural atmosphere.
Imagine designing a custom home that takes advantage of the setting, with windows overlooking the trees, a welcoming outdoor patio and plenty of room to enjoy the property.
Perhaps you've always dreamed of a beautiful garden, a place for outdoor entertaining or simply having more space between you and neighbouring properties.
This is the kind of setting where those ideas can begin to take shape.
Unlike purchasing an existing home and trying to make someone else's floor plan work for you, building a new home gives you the opportunity to thoughtfully design your living spaces around your own priorities.
Whether that means single-level living, an open-concept kitchen, flexible workspaces or a comfortable home for everyday family life, the possibilities are exciting.
Of course, any proposed development will need to comply with local zoning, building permits and applicable servicing requirements.
Existing Well, Septic and Power: An Important Head Start
One of the features that makes 1003 Cedarwood Place particularly appealing is that the property already has services in place.
These include:
An existing drilled well
An existing septic system
Power available on the property
An established driveway entrance
Garage structure
Approximately 0.7 acres of privately situated land
A quiet cul-de-sac location
For buyers considering a building lot in the Cowichan Valley, understanding the availability of services is an important part of the process.
Properties without existing infrastructure can require additional planning, approvals and installation work before construction can begin.
Having these services already present may provide a useful starting point for evaluating the property and preparing a development plan.
Buyers should have the existing systems assessed by qualified professionals to determine their condition, capacity and suitability for a proposed new home.
A Fresh Start: Build the Home You've Been Imagining
The existing manufactured home on the property has been decommissioned and is not habitable.
The value of 1003 Cedarwood Place is in the land, its location and its potential for a new home.
For the right buyer, that's exactly what makes this opportunity interesting.
Rather than purchasing an older house and spending years renovating it to suit your needs, you have an opportunity to explore the design and construction of a new home.
Picture a thoughtfully designed rancher surrounded by gardens, a modern West Coast home that complements the natural landscape, or a welcoming family residence with outdoor living space.
There's something exciting about being able to make those decisions from the beginning.
From the layout and finishes to the windows, storage and outdoor spaces, you can work toward creating a home that feels genuinely yours.
Any building plans will require appropriate professional advice, permits and confirmation of what is allowed on the property. Buyers should also investigate the requirements and costs associated with the removal of the existing manufactured home.

What Should Buyers Know Before Purchasing 1003 Cedarwood Place?
